Chapter 957 920: Demands
The British Museum is located on Russell Square in London. It was established in 1753 and has a history of nearly three hundred years.
This museum is the oldest and most magnificent comprehensive museum in the world today. It is also one of the largest and most famous of the world's top five museums.
Inside are various rare treasures plundered from all over the world during the colonial era, including many taken from China.
Eiliana once promised Qin Heng that she would give everything in the entire British Museum to Qin Heng, just asking for his forgiveness and not to blame the entire England.
But now, nearly half a year has passed, and it still hasn't been fulfilled.
Originally, Qin Heng thought it was a delaying tactic by Eiliana, but now it seems that she probably can't even empty the British Museum. What's under that museum is not ordinary.
"Has Mr. Xuantian already seen through it?" Eiliana heard Qin Heng's words, smiled bitterly, and said, "Indeed, with your ability, how could you not see through it?"
"What's wrong with the British Museum?" Qin Yun asked curiously.
"That direction?" Ji Nanxiang also looked towards the direction Qin Heng pointed, her brows slightly furrowed, and she said solemnly, "In that direction, there is an extremely rich humane fortune, almost comparable to my time during the Great Zhou, inside there must be many humane treasures."
Humane treasures are not necessarily powerful weapons.
They may be items symbolizing key processes in civilization, such as ancient books, ritual vessels, or top-tier artworks representing the development of human social civilization, such as paintings or sculptures.
The humane fortune accumulated on these treasures in a single British Museum comparable to the last years of the Zhou Dynasty is already astounding.
Even in Ji Nanxiang's time, when the Zhou Dynasty was already declining, it was still a dynasty with many Great Saints, located in the Central Plains core, occupying a large portion of humane fortune. Although it couldn't compare to its peak, it was by no means weak.
For the British Museum to accumulate humane fortune to such an extent is simply unbelievable. The amount of humane treasures it contains is probably beyond imagination!
"Intense humane fortune is of no use to ordinary people. It only significantly promotes the development of a dynasty, which is why, starting three hundred years ago, England has seen a leap in development."
Qin Heng said indifferently, "However, relying solely on the enhancement of humane fortune, and moreover relying on the plundering of humane treasures, there is bound to be backlash after leap development, which is why in recent decades, England has started going downhill."
"However, the smoothness and satisfaction of developing a dynasty by borrowing the fortune of humane treasures is something that few dynasty rulers can resist." Ji Nanxiang sighed, "It's like sugar laced with poison—knowing it's harmful, you still can't give it up."
She thought about how the Zhou Dynasty used the fortune of the Nine Tripods to develop the dynasty, rising to the peak and then declining. Dynasties after Qin did not search for the Nine Tripods, probably having learned from the Zhou Dynasty's lesson.
"England is not aware of this. They may not even realize the harm."
Qin Heng gently shook his head and said to Eiliana, "Moreover, with the number of humane treasures, the fortune should have been enough for England to prosper for another one or two hundred years. Now it seems the fortune has prematurely diminished. Can you tell me why?"
"Mr. Xuantian must have already seen through it." Eiliana smiled bitterly, "Now that the fortune gathered by those humane treasures is below normal levels, it is naturally because some of it has been consumed."
"Are there any weapons being nurtured under that museum?" Ji Nanxiang's eyebrow slightly raised, saying, "You do have a lot of nerve to use humane fortune to nurture weapons, but that's not it, it's not weapons, there is..."
"A group of Great Saints and Saint Kings," Qin Heng looked at Eiliana, sneering, "If I'm not mistaken, beneath Russell Square, there are ancient Great Saints and Saint Kings of England, right?"
However, the method of sleep they control is not complete, so when awakening, more effort is needed, even needing external nurturing assistance to work, correct?"
"That's entirely correct." Cold sweat trickled down Eiliana's forehead, her golden hair sticking to her skin. She lowered her head and said, "Mr. Xuantian, I'm willing to bear your wrath."
"It's nothing." Qin Heng said indifferently, "You just need to destroy those Great Saints and Saint Kings who absorbed the fortune from the humane treasures, and then the fortune can be extracted."
"..."
"..."
Silence!
Unbelievable silence. As soon as Qin Heng finished speaking, no one on Eiliana's side spoke. She and the three Knights of the Round Table beside her looked at Qin Heng in astonishment.
"What nonsense are you talking? Those buried there are ancient kings of Briton!" One Knight of the Round Table said discontentedly, "There are at least six Saint Kings. Who do you think you are?!"
"That's right. There are more than six Saint Kings, along with many Great Saints. They are not comparable to those monsters you just killed!" Another Knight of the Round Table also spoke, not believing at all that Qin Heng could achieve such a thing.
"Do not be disrespectful!" Eiliana scolded, taking a deep breath, and sincerely looking at Qin Heng, she said, "Mr. Xuantian, I understand your feelings and your anger at the usage of the humane fortune from the treasures.
But the ancient kings beneath Russell Square are our country's only hope. If you kill them all, then no one will be left to protect this country, and we will only face demise in this era of Spiritual Energy resurgence."
"You can pay allegiance to China, becoming a vassal state of China, and we will then provide you with some aid and protection," Qin Heng said indifferently, as if it was only natural.
A vassal state!?
Make England a vassal state of China!?
Everyone present was stunned, whether on Eiliana's side or Qin Yun and Song Ningran, all were taken aback, looking at Qin Heng in disbelief.
"Mr. Xuantian, are you serious?" Xue Qinan couldn't help but ask. She was one of the high-ranking members of the Myth Organization, directly under the Chinese government, and hearing something so shocking left her a bit disoriented.
Although now with the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, the awakening of the supernatural, and many ordinary people awakening as abilities users, along with the Nine Nether Evil Demons wreaking havoc, many countries are now in name only, yet they are still independent countries.
Even for a country like England, whose capital city London has been reduced entirely to ruins, the upper echelon leaders still exist, having merely evacuated. To now say that England should become a vassal state of China is astonishing!
"It's ridiculous, do you think you..." One of the Knights of the Round Table couldn't help but try to rush towards Qin Heng to argue.
"Stop!" Eiliana stopped him, looking at Qin Heng. Her white fists were clenched, and her armor-clad body slightly trembled, "Mr. Xuantian, I am not the queen of Briton, I cannot decide this matter."
"It's irrelevant. I'm merely informing you about this matter." Qin Heng said indifferently, "I'm not negotiating with you."
